I love what you did with your cab and got the colors to match so perfectly.<br />I'm not familiar with Crystie's work, but it looks like her cab is coming together wonderfully.

I was so surprised (a "duh" moment on my part) at how the rhinestones pick up the colors of the cab, but it is the perfect touch. Can't wait to see what the rope turns out to be!<br /><br />And to Crystie, what a great start on your piece! How nice that you're including beading in your healing process. I know we're all eager to see how this turns out.<br /><br />And last of all, cheers to you, my friend Therese.

Your cabs are gorgeous and I can't wait to see what the others have done with them.<br /><br />Yours is awesome. I love the changing colors and the chain that you used around it. The bugle beads between the crystals are perfect. I can't wait to see it finished.<br /><br />Crystie's is gorgeous as well. I love how she started it and can't wait to see what it grows into.Tanyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05674909712418596942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1782854575415236189.post-12725455512555293262013-11-16T14:15:18.303-06:002013-11-16T14:15:18.303-06:00For Crystie: your work is fabulous, can't wait...For Crystie: your work is fabulous, can't wait to see the finished cab!

I hope you have a joyful, sparkly, happy one :) We'll meet next time when you get close to Canada :) <br />Thank you for inviting me to your special party, I am honoured and happy to be part of this very special group!<br /><br />Your work is always amazing - but this cab is so gorgeous, out of this world! I love how you perfectly matched the seed beads colours to the cab's, and how you seamlessly navigate through the 2 equally gorgeous shades.

Second time for embroidery?! It looks like Crystie has a knack for it! I am sending warm, healing thoughts her way as she recovers from her surgery :-)<br /><br />And now to you, Birthday Girl.....Happy Birthday to you, my friend! I hope you are thoroughly enjoying your Michigan vacation! Thank you so much for your friendship, time, talent, beads, patience, and these incredibly gorgeous cabs you gifted us. I do believe you have a golden touch :-) It made me do a happy dance to know that we will be seeing your pink and green beauty again. I think we all want to see more of that! GOREGOUS!!! The color shifts, the bead choices, the sparkle~this is a museum piece! Perfect. You really made a thing of extreme beauty here. <br /><br />Tonight, I will just have to drink a Manhattan in your honor :-) Love you!

I agree with Karen, so beautiful how you're moving seamlessly between pink and green. the beads are perfectly extending the cab! Can't wait to see this one finished for ATTS #4!

And what a wonderful idea for this challenge! <br /><br />Both yours and Crystie's cabs are coming along beautifully. It's interesting to see two such different takes.
